"Girl Scout Daisy Troop 4720 learned about respecting themselves by listening to exercise and nutrition information from Linda and Jennifer. The girls learned about the benefits of making wise food choices to properly fuel their bodies with energy for exercise. Linda and Jennifer led a group discussion to help the girls identify healthy snack options. The girls had a great time participating in various activities that really got their hearts pumping. Overall the girls had a great time and realized that exercise is fun!"

Girl Scout Troop #4473.

Linda and Jennifer worked with the girls to complete the requirements for the "Fun and Fit" Junior Girl Scout badge. The badge encourages girls to be fit by making healthy choices and by adding fun exercise to their day. Linda and Jennifer taught the girls why it's important to warm up, play hard, and cool down. They played soccer, basketball, hula hooped, and challenged themselves with some muscle work.

The Webelos of Pack #213 expended some of their energy by performing a number of the activities for their athlete badge with Linda and Jennifer. The boys discussed why it was important for them to practice healthy habits, and the value of warming up and cooling down during exercise programs. The action began with a circuit program that incorporated the badge requirements and measuring their skill at such exercises as sit-ups, push ups, and the long jump. The boys had fun testing their endurance, while Linda and Jennifer checked on proper form. They will return to the gym in 30 days to retest their skills. The boys enjoyed the opportunity to get moving while learning to be fit and healthy!
